Another Cold Night, Dry but Warmer Sunday: Saturday Evening Forecast 11/23/2024
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner reports a chilly forecast with overnight lows dropping into the mid to upper 30s, even hitting 38°F in Mobile, which is below average. Clear skies and calm winds will lead to radiational cooling, resulting in patchy frost in some areas. A frost advisory is in effect for several counties. Tomorrow will bring warmer temperatures in the 70s with increasing clouds and dry conditions until a weak cold front on Tuesday introduces slight rain chances. By Thursday, a significant front could bring scattered showers and a cool down by the weekend, with lows dipping back into the 30s.
After a chilly start, it stayed cool this afternoon with lots of sunshine. Overnight, a frost advisory is still in place for our northern spots as lows will drop into the mid-30’s. Areas closer to the coast will see lows in the low- to mid-40’s. Winds will be calm to start the day on Sunday, but we will switch to a south wind bringing more warmth and moisture to the area. Highs will be warmer in the low-70’s. Rip current risk will remain low through the start of the next work week. We will be even warmer for Monday ahead of our next front. We will see that front pass through our area on Tuesday bringing the chance for a few showers. It will likely stall south of the area and dissipate, but it will still bring a brief shower chance on Wednesday. Finally on Thanksgiving Thursday, another front will swing through the area bringing a chance for scattered showers and storms later in the day. After that front passes, temperatures will likely take a tumble into next weekend.

Alabama county commissioner tells followers to arm themselves against No Kings protests
SUMMARY: Cleburne County Commissioner Mark Truett urged Alabama residents on Facebook to arm themselves with pepper spray—or “cordless hole punchers,” a euphemism for guns—ahead of planned protests against Donald Trump. Truett shared links to pepper spray products, protest sites, and maps of Alabama protest locations. He claimed his intent was to ensure both sides were prepared for potential violence, emphasizing safety without ill will. Critics like Jim Sterling viewed Truett’s posts as threatening and inciting violence. Commenters echoed militant sentiments referencing Kyle Rittenhouse and resistance to protests, highlighting tensions and calls for armed readiness amid polarized reactions to Trump-related demonstrations.

'I truly feel sorry': Medical cannabis licenses under review as patients await relief
SUMMARY: The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission is one step closer to awarding medical marijuana licenses after a prolonged legal battle. Initially, licenses given to applicants like Joey Robertson were delayed due to rejected applications and ongoing litigation. Applicants must now undergo investigative hearings before an administrative law judge to defend their qualifications. Though these hearings were always legislatively required, litigation caused significant delays. Executive Director John McMillan expressed disappointment but hopes the process will soon proceed smoothly. Robertson, originally awarded a license in December 2023, expects to defend his license next month, with final decisions possible in the coming months, bringing relief to patients awaiting treatment.
